ULTRA LOW FAT OLD FASHIONED CHICKEN & DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• To prepare chicken with broth:.
• Spray large pot with non stick cooking spray. Add chicken pieces and brown. (I prefer to cook chicken breasts whole & cut after they are cooked.).
• Add chicken broth, water and all ingredients.
• Simmer 30 minutes over low heat, uncovered.
• To prepare dumplings:.
• Beat combined egg whites and cottage cheese with mixer. (The lumps will not go away until cooked.) Add water and salt and mix well. Add half the flour and mix by hand, mix well and add remaining flour and mix.
• To cook dumplings:.
• Bring chicken broth to a rolling boil. Using a tablespoon of dough at a time, drop dumplings into boiling stock. After all dough has been dropped in, reduce heat, cover and cook for 15 minutes. If a thicker, richer broth is desired, uncover and cook longer. (Optional, serve sprinkled with Molly McButter.).

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, stir together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and milk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Transfer the chicken mixture to the soup pot, and mix well. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. Season with celery seed and black pepper.
• To Make Dumplings: In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of milk and 2 tablespoons of oil. Pour into the dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened.
• Drop tablespoonfuls of the dumpling mixture into simmering chicken stew. Cover pot tightly, and bring to a boil. Simmer for another 12 to 15 minutes - without peeking! Ladle into bowls, and serve hot.
